Exalted Heights

Up Up And Away

Scorching hot floor hence the face 🙂

When life becomes confounding and peace seems absconding
The merciless grind is impounding with its travails compounding
Concerns become astounding and the heart frantically pounding
Reckon it is the hour for serious sounding and instant grounding
The need to break away from the surrounding and its incessant hounding
A sojourn to the Coral Isle Pattaya a destination seemed an appropriate bounding

Its vibrant coast and spectacular landscape a perfect landing to unwind and unpile
The brimming  sandy beaches and the clear turquoise waters appealed to my profile
The pleasures of sunbathing and snoozing the masseuses all excitement worthwhile
The colourful canopies floating midair a spectacular sight to behold and  smile
An adventure I mused surely for the young and valorous but definitely not my style
But temptation a seductive mistress allures and beguiles nags nags till you comply

An irresistible urge I find myself among the excited crowd to experience heart’s delight
The harness suspended with the parachute like a brilliant plumage set ready to alight
All agog to be airlifted and experience human flight aided with borrowed wings
To soar above the milling crowd unchecked and  unhindered till the heart sings
A gentle tug and I am airborne the take off is smooth and steadily I gain altitude
No quivers or qualms all fears waylaid the spirit of adventure and a vibrant attitude

The shimmering waters below the infinite expanse above extraordinarily delighting
Pure serenity pervaded to usher a welcome inward calm soothing and enlightening
The multitude below receding indistinct blurred almost nonexistent and insignificant
With obdurate manifestations absurd expectation and vexatious temptation rampant
A rare moment defined in a zone so sublime blending with the previously unknown
Joy ecstasy and bliss heralding the dawn of a world untainted and just my very own

A pure heavenly awakening an unclouded vision with keen perception and reflections
The cessation of illusions and all kind of hostile projections and wavering connections
A profound absorption of a clear strong directed mindfulness and fearlessness
Relinquishing corporeal  affections  dissent and doubts and uneasy restlessness
To shun obstructive dogmatism and cynicism the path leading to hollow escapism
And rise above all objections rejections oppression suppression and pessimism

A surreal experience to be airlifted to  exalted heights and delights.
